Numbers 3:1-4 and John 1:35-42 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 3:1-4
AARON'S SON
1  This is the family line of Aaron and Moses as it was recorded when the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai: 
2  The names of Aaron’s sons were Nadab (the oldest), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 
3  These sons of Aaron were anointed and ordained to minister as priests. 
4  But Nadab and Abihu died in the Lord’s presence in the wilderness of Sinai when they burned before the Lord the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded. Since they had no sons, this left only Eleazar and Ithamar to serve as priests with their father, Aaron.

JOHN 1:35-42
THE FIRST DISCIPLES OF JESUS
35  The following day John was again standing with two of his disciples. 
36  As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and declared, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!” 
37  When John’s two disciples heard this, they followed Jesus.
38  Jesus looked around and saw them following. “What do you want?” he asked them.  They replied, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
39  “Come and see,” he said. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon when they went with him to the place where he was staying, and they remained with him the rest of the day.
40  Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of these men who heard what John said and then followed Jesus. 
41  Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”).
42  Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus. Looking intently at Simon, Jesus said, “Your name is Simon, son of John—but you will be called Cephas” (which means “Peter”).
